One of those visitors was four-star 2019 tight end Brenton Strange, who made an unexpected return trip to Columbus. That signaled that things weren't dead between the Buckeyes and Strange, and that Ohio State was serious about taking two tight ends in its 2019 class.

Well, if OSU still wants two tight ends now, it will have to look elsewhere.

Strange on Monday committed to Penn State, following his official visit to Happy Valley for Ohio State's 27-26 win over the Nittany Lions last Saturday. The Parkersburg, West Virginia product is the No. 16 tight end in the country.

Strange was reportedly considering an official visit to Ohio State later this season.

With his commitment, Penn State now has the No. 12 class in the country and the No. 3 class in the Big Ten. That's one spot behind Ohio State in both rankings.

Ohio State is still in the market for a couple of offensive linemen in this 2019 class to add to the group it already has in five-star center Harry Miller, four-star guard Doug Nester and four-star tackle Ryan Jacoby.

On Tuesday the Buckeyes offered a Northeast Ohio product, three-star guard J.D. Duplain from Strongsville. Duplain has been committed to Michigan State since Aug. 1. He's the No. 39 player in Ohio.

Add both of those names to the list of offensive line options for Ohio State as it looks to round out this class. The others on that list are five-star tackle Darnell Wright, four-star tackle Trevor Keegan and three-star tackle Jonathan Allen.

Ohio State has four senior offensive linemen on the roster this year, plus another in Michael Jordan who will be draft-eligible after this season. Junior Branden Bowen is trying to make a return from a broken leg last season that required another surgery this season. So it seems the Buckeyes could take up to five offensive linemen this year if the pieces fall into place.
